Endless litany of examples of this discriminatory, & yeah, racist/colonialist, & elsewhere misogynistic/sexist (see eg @mandigray.bsky.social's book), dbl standards & hypocrisy, whc too few take issue w/ as strongly as true, principled commitment to free expression rather than to power might evoke.

Been planning to share my comments from last week's #CIGF2024 Online Harms Act panel. Now seems a good time, given today's announcement that the govt will split up Bill #C63 to push Part 1 (+4&5) through. I was asked to discuss potential unintended consequences of Part 1 and how to mitigate them. 🧵

its my least favourite season of the semester - sooo much plagiarism reports this year - more than I have ever had in all my years combined as a TA and prof.

One week left of classes. Yyyessssss.

I think Canadian books should be exempt from GST permanently not just for 2 months. #CanLit

its that time of the semester when my brain has stopped working due to information overload

Hi!! My book Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law was released this year by @ubcpress.bsky.social - my book received a starred review from the Quill & Quire! It looks at the growing trend of men suing their accusers for defamation.
